LEGISLATIVE NOTES.

The judiciary committee of the sen. ate made favorable report on the bill providing for the transfer of personal property to trustees when inherited by heirs out of the state.
 The committee rendered favorable report to the house on bill prohibiting the issue of free passes by railroad companies to any persons except en- ployees and the railroad commissioners.
 A special committee has been appoin- ted by the house to consider the date of . final adjournment. The Courant thinks they should be required to report by the 4th of July.
 The house has adopted the motion to concur with the senate on all tariff matters.
 It has been moved that lobbyists be excludeded from the floor of the house during the remainder of the session. Tho matter was. tabled for further action.
 The bill exempting bonds, mortgages or funds invested held by church or ecclesiastical society to the amount of $10, 900 from taxation passed the house. It requires that the income therefrom shall be used exclusively for the main- tenance of public worship and the e1- penses necessary thereto.
 The school bill has been so amended as to permit local option in the matter and also to require that not more than two-thirds of the school committee shall reside within any one of the present district limits. The amend ments passed the house but the senate moved to insist upon the original bill, and appointed committee of confer once. It is certainly to be desired that the bill as it stood originally will finally meet the approbation of the house, as it n very evident that much good can be accomplished by town government of schools.
 The bill providing for the inspection of factories, although adversely reported by the committee, passed the house. This IS creditable action, and in the interest of humanity. The inspector is authorized to cause all places of dange, to be properly protected and much benefit may be derived from the inspec ton, if properly made.
 Litchfsld county IS the only county in which the commissioners have no, taken fees for drawing up and e1ecut ing license bonds, and such fees are not specified by the statute. This is muct to the credit of the commissioners o our county. The other charge against the county commissioners is the failure in most counties to publish their return. consequently they are open to ths charge of accepting fees for work no performed.
 The committee on new counties anl county seats reported favorably the bil making New Milford and Winsted tn, county seats of Litchfeld county Calendar. On Thursday the bill wa made the order of the day for Wednes day, April 27th. at II a. m.

SCANDAL MONGERS.

There is 8 class-far too great, un- happily-who address themselves to the nnamiahla task of raising dissensions, of separating friends, even of sowing dis cord betwixt members of one family. There are even women who do this and we refer to the experience of the youngest of our readers to bear us out in the remark that, when 8 woman does abuse her talents in this way, she dis plays an art which for pertinscity and craft is almost inconceivable. These people are not merely dangerous. They are destructive of human happiness 1; and the worst is that they seem to enjoy their internal work. But they bear this appearance only to the eye. In the silence of their hearts, in the hour of solitude, when the mind asks for some- thing better than mischief to feed its thoughts, as the worst mind does, they undergo torture greater than all that they infict. And, in fact, we may rest certain that the poorezt, most degraded and abandoned wretch that ever exci- ted in our breasts 8 mingled feeling of pity and or horror is not more abject, more miserable and helpless than the unfortunate creature who has selected misunderstanding for the business of her life.
 Turn to the other side of the picture. Look at the woman who sets her whole being upon the happiness of others. Every effort is exerted to confirm 8 good understanding amongst her friends to soften asperous dispositions, to re- move prejudices, and to reconcile mis- apprehension. There is something heavenly ID such character. And mark its wonderful reward. It gathers strength even upon failure When misunderstanding have grown into feuds, when dislike has swelled into hatred, and old friends, opposing one another as the deadliest enemies, sink under mutual malignity, there is yet one person who triumphs in this hour of downfall, and that is the woman who Aas tried, with might and main, to pre-
